Ayshah meets migrant family in Europe

Each year thousands of people, many of them children, attempt to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe, trying to escape poverty and war in their home countries.

The journey is very dangerous: criminal gangs organise the crossings illegally, which means there's no-one checking that conditions are safe.

People are packed very tightly into small boats, which leak and often sink.

Ayshah met Mohammed and his dad who survived the journey and have started a new life in Europe.
